6.5 Million

Approximately 70,000 dogs and cats are born in the us every day. Only 1 out of every 10 dogs and 1 out of every 12 cats born will find a permanent home.
How A.D.O.P.T. Helps
A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter has placed over 20,000 dogs and cats into permanent and loving homes since its inception in 1989. See a list of available animals here.
A.D.O.P.T. has spayed and neutered over 10,000 shelter animals since 2009 when we opened our spay/neuter clinic. Read more about our clinic here.
A.D.O.P.T.’s Blessed Bonds and community outreach programs have helped 1000’s of families and their pets by giving them the support they need to prevent their beloved pet from entering the shelter system. More information can be found on our Crisis Assistance page.
